Last night Bill asked me if I had any ideas about what we could do this weekend. I told him that my Mom had mentioned possibly getting together with my sister and me at her place for a girls weekend. Well, as soon as I mentioned the words "girls weekend", his eyes glazed over and a grin sprung upon his face (I think there was even some drool!)...I could just see the wheels turning in his head. I then told him about my Dad going to Calgary for a visit so that this was the perfect time for us girls to get together. A couple minutes later, he asked how long my Dad was going to be gone...and even though I'd only said how long he'd be gone a few minutes earlier, I knew his ears were on but nobody was really listening.
You see, as soon as I ever mention the words "girls weekend" his mind races through all the possiblities of how he could spend his time alone...warhammer, warhammer, warhammer!!! Extra time to be with his other love is always a welcomed pleasure.
My own girlfriend, Lori, is grateful for my Warhammer hobby. She often says how glad she is that I have a "nice" hobby; citing the fact that a lot of men prefer to drink themselves into a stupor, snort coke and simultaneously burn both brain cells and money, or play musical chairs with their sexual partners. She likes the fact that she always knows where I am and she likes the fact that I am usually in the company of men while I play. This isn't to say that Warhammer can't be indulged *too* much, but it definitely gets a LOT worse than playing with space toys. :)
ReplyDeleteI may bug Bill a lot about his hobby...but I do realize that it's not a bad hobby to have. I am glad that there's something he enjoys doing that is in no way harmful to him or our relationship. Your girlfriend is bang on about the other things you guys could be doing and aren't...I too am grateful of that. I don't mind Bill having his warhammer hobby...I just like to tease him about how obsessed he is with it. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou might not know this, but even the other guys in the hobby tease Bill about how obsessed he is... so what does *that* tell you? :)
